Program Details

If you’re looking for more than just a place to volunteer - if you want a chance to slow down, breathe, and truly soak in the beauty of rural Scotland - this is the place for you. Set in a peaceful and quaint coastal village, this is an opportunity to step away from the noise and clutter of life and reconnect with nature.

Here, you’ll find a supportive, nourishing environment where your help is valued, but where you also have space for personal reflection. Whether you want to clear your mind with long walks, enjoy the simple rhythm of daily tasks, or take a step back and gain perspective, this is a space that allows you to do so.

Volunteering here means contributing to something meaningful while also giving yourself the gift of peace, calm, and a change of pace. If you need to work remotely, your room has a desk - but if you’re looking to truly unplug, you’ll find no better setting.

Come for the beauty, stay for the warmth, and leave feeling refreshed.

Activities & Shift

For the most part, the work will involve painting, though there will also be some cleaning of the outdoor areas and possibly some light gardening.

In addition to brunch and dinner - where I will provide the food, though we may share the cooking duties - you’ll have your own room, with a shared bathroom and kitchen.

Rules

This is a place for contemplation, and reflection. You're welcome to join my daily breath and meditation practice.
